refactorguy··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
I hate this, because that's probably a fake reason given by them.

Mercado Libre (the "latin american Amazon") did something similar to me: they said I enabled two factor authentication via ID, and blocked me from my account until I give it to them. After a lot of back and forth with support, they finally admitted that they picked random users for "some tests", and told me that there's nothing I could do about it. Maybe LinkedIn is doing something similar?

refactorguy··on JSBen.ch – Performance benchmarking playground for JavaScript
Happy to see it return. Are all the benchmarks back? It would be nice if all those links from Stack Overflow work again.
refactorguy··on Why is Chile so long?
Report this account, it's copying comments.
refactorguy··on Joplin is an open source note-taking app
Every time I see a post about a note-taking app, Obsidian is mentioned in the comments. I don't know if the app is really good, or if those are just paid comments. At this point I'm not even surprised anymore, especially when conversations always end with a mention of Obsidian Sync.
refactorguy··on Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections
Yeah, the only times I've had problems with it, it was because of WebGL. So I use Standard mode in like 2-3 sites, and Strict everywhere else. This is a bad move IMO
refactorguy··on Apple clarifies why it abandoned plan to detect CSAM in iCloud photos
> and THEN this year there was the high-profile issue with the laws in the UK and/or Australia or whatever that showed we were all correct

Do you have a link to that issue? I didn't heard about it (I'm from a third world country)
